Yeah. The dichotomy can be very striking. It'd be interesting to get a financial snapshot of some of these communities and see where money really goes. It's worrisome that sometimes people seem to prioritize maintaining what's easier to maintain over what's more important to maintain. Then again, that's kind of human nature sometimes, so, I dunno. :/
